Adult Classes and Workshops

This is an introduction to the materials and techniques of painting and drawing for all students. Working from direct observation and a variety of subject matter, this class will focus on color and basic concepts of form, light, and composition.

Another class brought back by popular demand! An introductory watercolor class, using traditional methods of art instruction. Enjoy an afternoon of experimentation and fun while you learn the fundamentals of the medium. You will learn basic techniques every watercolorist uses and develop color harmony in your paintings. Brenda’s demonstrations will walk you step-by-step through the entire painting process. Supplies provided.

Have you ever watched a demo and seen a painter using a color you think will change your life?? A brush? Do you go to workshops and buy everything on the supply list? Does it take you more time to set up and squeeze out your paint than it does to paint your painting? Do you feel like a prisoner to all of your supplies and materials? I know I did… come learn how to lighten your load, change your attitude about what to expect outdoors, and FEEL FREE! Supply list provided.

Learn how to speak with the visual language of paint by simplifying complex subject matter into basic abstract compositions. Differentiate and establish six values to convey dynamic and clear paintings. Laura will also demonstrate how to use a variety of tools to get unique effects with paint that might be difficult with a brush. Supply list to be provided.

Join us in the CCL for an evening of Creativity and Fun! Local artists will walk you through the painting process to create your own masterpiece. No experience necessary! All art materials are provided (canvas, paints, brushes, aprons, etc.) Bring a bottle of wine, a snack, a date, a friend or make a new one! You must be at least 21 years of age with proper identification to consume alcohol. Painting begins PROMPTLY at class time! Please arrive 30 minutes prior to class time to park, check-in, unwind, uncork, & get smocked.
